Just like every tomato from the garden is the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And there were so many more left for harvest.

The kids learned about mushrooms alongside me while I cared for the kits, and they also helped keep them moist and within the right temperature range. That\u2019s one way in which these mushroom kits fulfilled an additional role besides filling our bellies at harvest time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way I killed two birds with one stone &#8212; a third bird with the mushroom kit stone &#8212; is that during my stop at Mountain Meadow Mushrooms I picked up some of their compost. They make all of their own compost on which to grow their mushrooms, and after harvest they give away for free the spent compost. The whole operation is certified organic, by the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I loaded up my truck bed, and I\u2019ve been using the mushroom compost in my yard in various ways for the past month. It has shown itself to work well in every application I\u2019ve made so far. For years I\u2019ve heard from other gardeners in the area who love the Mountain Meadow Mushrooms compost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soon I\u2019ll post about an experiment I\u2019m doing sowing vegetable seeds directly in the Mountain Meadow Mushrooms compost compared to some other composts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:75px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Mountain Meadow Mushrooms <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mmmushroom.com\/\">website<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mountain Meadow Mushrooms address: 26948 North Broadway, Escondido, CA, 92026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:75px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>All of my Yard Posts are listed <a href=\"https:\/\/gregalder.com\/yardposts\/list-of-yard-posts\/\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During a presentation I attended by Roberto Ramirez &#8212; owner of one of the few mushroom farms left in Southern California, Mountain Meadow Mushrooms in Escondido &#8212; he mentioned that they had started selling kits.
